La Tolteca 2

I didn’t actually get to try the food. I visited on 1÷23÷15 at 7pm. We waited at the front door for 5 minutes without anyone greeting or seating us. I waved down a waitress and she said we could go to the bar for a few minutes while she cleared a table for us. While at the bar nobody was there to offer a drink. We waited for at least 15 minutes without the waitress coming back to seat us. We decided to leave and go elsewhere. We would have stayed and waited but it was too loud to talk. It didn’t seem too busy but it did seem understaffed.

Went here this evening with my family and was pretty typical Mexican fare. Had the chimichangas along with Mexican Rice. Very quick and friendly service. Pretty extensive menu overall with mauve a few too many items. Has pretty decent seating with booths and tables. Overall pretty solid for Mexican food in Sun Prairie.

My boyfriend (who is Mexican) asked for a manzanita (which was on the menu) and they told him «they don’t have those drinks because not a lot of Mexicans come to this restaurant so they don’t have it» Also they don’t give you a choice on corn tortillas or flour, they just give you flour tortillas and the food was just ok.
So basically… The place looks very pretty and the chips are good, but we don’t consider this an authentic Mexican restaurant.
Did I mention we went on a Saturday around 2pm and were the only people there…

I am never coming back. The food is bland and dry. Every time, we’ve ordered from here, we get a certain item on the menu. They decided to stop serving the dish with one of the sides. Not worth it anymore. Chips are stale. I’m pretty sure their guacamole is just ground up avocados. There are many other Mexican places to eat that has way better standards and quality. I actually like their salsa.

Had the fish tacos, comparable to San Diego tacos! Cheryl, my wife had taco salad and seemed very pleased. Reasonably priced, excellent margaritas.

Very good food. Their chicken dishes have amazing sauces. Great portions. Reasonable prices. Only downside… The place could use a really good deep scrubbing. The tables are clean but the walls and corners not so much.

DO NOT GO HERE! We were seated at a dirty table and waited 10 minutes without service after asking 4 people for water. We left afraid to even try the food. Sadly no one even sad anything to us when we left. This place won’t be in business long. It’s probably already on the skids. We went someplace else and were very happy.

Had a very enjoyable meal this evening. Good service. Ambiance was true to a Mexican restaurant.
Some of the best Mexican food we have had outside of The southwest United States.

Some dishes are under $ 10…others slightly over. Don’t pass this place up! I tried the Mahi Mahi Tacos, they were ok and just the right amount of food. My husband had the Burrito Loco with Chicken. He too thought there was just enough food and just at the right cost. Paying extra for a side of guacamole (it was big enough for both of us to share), our dinner was about $ 25. Not bad considering we asked for extra sides.

The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty meal on a budget.

La Tolteca has become our go-​to Mexican restaurant near Madison. The selection is fantastic with great prices especially lunch specials. Their hot salsa is fresh, hot and tasty — sometimes you eat it until your meal comes and your tongue burns the rest of the meal. The cheese sauce for the chimichanga is very good. The cheese dip is very cheesy and the quesadilla cheese is tasty!
The service is second to none. They are so friendly and responsive. Also the food comes out with urgency even when it’s busy.
This place I recommend to everyone because it’s good.

Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. I acquired this nom preference after living in Chicago and visiting California for many years.
Since moving to Wisconsin, I have had a hard time finding food that is satisfying. I work in Cross plains and have passed La Tolteca many times.
Today I was interested in a burrito. Simple enough, si?
No. I ordered a bean burrito with Jalapeño Fresco y Aquate. I was presented with a large tortilla filled with lettuce, slightly burned beans, cheese, and aging avocado. The tortilla was slightly folded over on each side making a tube like structure.
There was no way to pick the burrito up without slop seeping out. I had to use a fork and knife. :-(
I must say that receiving fresh jalapeños when ordered was amazing! (this is usually very difficult) But this was not what I had in mind. I want to satisfy my hunger with a large bean burrito packed full of veggies that I can pick up with my hands.
One last mention: The table we were seated at was pretty dirty.
Where can I find amazing mexican food?

If I could choose zero stars, I would. The service is horrible. You have to yell or wave to get a servers attention. I only come there because the food is amazing and I work nearby. I rarely tip and if I do it is $ 1 because I am a nice person and feel bad. If you come here, expect amazing food and shitty service!

Here is my take on La Tolteca in Sun Prairie:
Food = 3.5 Stars. Huge Menu, Huge Portions, Good But Not Great Food. They have a ton of different combinations so that you can try a lot of different things. Their lunch specials are also super cheap for what they give you.
Service = 5 Stars. The staff is always on top of things. You can get in and out of this place in 30 minutes if you have too. When you order a carry out it’s literally done in 15 minutes. You won’t catch yourself waiting long for more chips or a refill on your soda cause they are always watching.
Overall, I say check it out!

La Tolteca is owned by the same people who own Aranda’s in De Forest, one of our favorite places to eat when we lived there.
We haven’t dined in at La Tolteca yet, but we ordered our favorites from the menu for take-​out and were not disappointed! The food was good, service was friendly, and the price is right.
La Tolteca is the place to beat for Mexican fare in Sun Prairie!

Might not look the best on the inside, but the food is good. Prices are cheap, portions are big, and staff is friendly.

I’ve been here 3 times now. It was good the first time, ok the 2^nd time on Cinco de mayo (very busy), and just awful the 3^rd time (last week).
The good:
–Cheap prices on beer!
–Booths are cool looking.
The Bad:
–The waitstaff. Took your order and then disappeared.
–DIRTY! Walls, floors, windows. Missing light bulbs. Enter the bathroom at your own risk. Sink barely worked and was covered in short black hairs. Scary.
–My chicken torta came on store bought hamburger buns. Ummm… wha?
–Food was very bland.
Not sure if I will give La Tolteca another try which is disappointing, I wanted this place to be awesome but it seems that they have lost interest.

Great food, great price, good selection of items as well. You really can’t go wrong and won’t go home hungry. We always get the queso dip with our chips.
It can be busy on the oddest of nights and then sometimes the service takes a hit. But great all around. Best place for Mexican in Sun Prairie hands down.

Recently I’ve become a fan of traditional taco– the kind that comes with cilantro and onion. The food here was quite good– the pollo taco was tasty with a nice spicy salsa!
Added bonus? LuLu provided me a sample of her personal pork Mole– YUMMY! The sauce was extra good on the tacos!

Excellent food, great prices.
The restaurant itself is a bit small and the service isn’t the best but best Mexican food in Sun Priarie
